Pathway Wayfinding Update
City staff provided an update on the recently installed Pathway Wayfinding system, which runs along the paved paths throughout greater Park City and is designed to make navigating easier and improve user experience.

The second step is educating the public on how to use the system. At this time, 50% of the pavement markings have been installed, with the remainder to be installed by the end of August.

• Ordinance 2019-46, amending Municipal Code Title 10, Non-Motorized Trail Use. There was significant public comment demonstrating both support and concern for allowing e-mountain bikes on trails. Council approved an amendment to the ordinance, which exempts trail users 65 older to operate Class I e-mountain bikes on all trails in Park City. This coincides with the current exception for users with mobility disabilities. Additionally, Council postponed the recommendation of a pilot project in Round Valley, and instead directed staff to create a task force to help determine next steps associated with e-mountain bike use.

PARK CITY HOUSING AUTHORITY

Park City Housing Authority Approved the following New Business Item:

• A request to amend the Housing Mitigation Plan for Phase Two of the St. Regis Deer Valley Hotel.
